Acknowledgement
First, I would like to thank my Heavenly Father for the gift He has given me. He has given me many gifts, but the gift of creative writing is one of my favorite ones. I do have some religious poems in this collection, along with romance, friendship, and just some random ones.
I have been writing poems since I was 16 years old. Many people have inspired the poems I have written, even if they are no longer in my life.
I hope that you will enjoy these poems as much as I enjoyed writing them.
This is nowhere near all of my poems; it’s just the ones I selected for the first book of poetry.
Life is short; so don’t let the fear of rejection hold you back. Step out of the box and spread your wings and fly.
All poems in this collection are the soul owner of the author. If you wish to use any of them even for personal use, please contact me and obtain written permission.

Daddy
The comfort of your arms
I will never feel again
The memories we made
Will forever live
You taught me
To love
You taught me
To live
You touched
Many lives
Your love and memory
Will forever go on
Today I said good-bye
Now you taught me to let go
Fear
The memories rushed back
Like a strong current
I tried to block them
I tried to fight
The pain you caused
Will never be forgotten
The innocence you took
Will forever be a dream
I want to let go
I want to move on
You want me to forgive
How do I forgive if I can’t forget
Your voice evokes fear
Your words bring pain
Forget about me
So I can try to forget about you
As long as I live
I will avoid your path
As long as I breathe
I will fear you.
My Love
My love for you
Is stronger than any other
We have a love
That many don’t understand
The road ahead
May not always be smooth
But our love
Will guide us through
You are my best friend
And my anchor
You are my knight
My protector
You are my everything
I love you.
Forbidden Fruit
The fruit was tempting
It was ripe and inviting
You could smell the sweetest
The way it glowed in the sunlight
The beam of light cast from the moonlight
The path was direct
You yearn to touch the fruit
To feel its tenderness
You can’t resist the play of light
Each time of day brings a new desire
It empowers your dreams
It fills your desires
It is
The forbidden fruit.
Heart Beats
My heart beats
To the rhythm of our love
Each beat
Brings a tear
The cracks in my heart
Allow the tears to fall out
I wait
For it to break
Or for you
To mend my broken heart.
I Desire You
Place your collar
Around my neck
Tell me
That I’m yours
I want
To please you
I want
To serve you
I want
To honor you
Let me
Be your submissive
Allow me
To kneel before you.
In a Dream
I dreamed of you
When I was little
A place far away
I felt your arms
You held me
When I was scared
You wiped
Away my tears
Words of comfort
Words of advice
You filled my thoughts
You filled my heart
Most important
You filled my life
Years went by
I always knew you were there
Finally one day
I met you
You were always my mom
In my dreams
Now you are my mom
In my heart and my life.
Link Together
My heart
Cries out to you.
Miles separate us
But still it beats
Listen to the rhythm
As it will blend with yours
Close your eyes
What do you see
I see our dreams
As they link together
Farewell
I close my eyes
And I see your face
When I feel sad
I imagine your arms around me
Your voice surrounds me
It is sweeter than any music
I run to you
For the good and the bad
As long as our hearts beat as one
No distance will ever separate us
Together we can conquer
What most will try to break apart
You are my dream come true
And I am your loving grace
My Protector
You were there
Even when I didn’t see you
You fought
The Monsters
Chased away
The bad dreams
I heard your voice
But could never see your face
You gave me
Words of advice
You taught me
To Fly
You believed in me
When I didn’t believe in myself
You encouraged me
To Dream
Most importantly
You showed me how to reach the stars
My World
You came to me
Like a feather in the wind
You bring me sunlight
When the clouds are dark and grey
You became my umbrella
In the pouring rain
You are my lighthouse
When I feel lost at sea
You are my blanket
On those lonely nights
You are the glue
That put my heart back together
You are the other half
That makes me whole.
What is a Mother’s Love
A mother’s Love
Is never ending.
Or so that is what
We are always told
A mother’s love
Is unfailing
At least we
Want to believe
As the weeks turn to months
And the months into years
We will always ask
What is a mother’s love
Each-Night
I pray for you each night
And think of you each day
Each thought seems to make each day harder
For I always want to be with you.
Broken Dreams
Some dreams are like a sand castle
When a wave comes along
It gets knocked down
Sometimes it gets rebuilt
But most of the time
The wave just carries it out
If the dream is strong enough
It will stay standing
No matter how big the wave is.
I Wish
A day won’t come
That I won’t think about you
There won’t be a night
Which I won’t wish
That you were here
So I could hold you tight
Each thought will be of you
And each wish, will wish
That you were here
But one day
My wish may come true
And I could tell you how much I love you
When I Saw You
When I saw you
I knew I loved you
But did you feel the same
I think of you
Throughout the day
And dream of you
All through the night
A moment won’t pass
That I won’t be there
To tell you I love you
If I Could
I’d give you the world
If I could
But I can’t
So will you take
My heart instead
Morning Dew
The morning dew
Covers the whole ground
God put it there
To remind us
Of his presence
And his love
As you walk on God’s
Freshly washed ground
Remember to thank Him
For all that He’s done
Your Letter
I wait everyday
For your letter
But it never comes
Magazines come
Letters for you go
When I finally receive your letter
I rush in and read it
Then I very carefully
Decide how to write you back
The next day I mail it
And begin waiting
For your letter
Summer School
I’ve been in a room
For three weeks
The men in white
Came and took me away
At first the walls were blue
Then slowly they changed
Spots appeared
The walls turned white
I couldn’t do anything
The walls were closing in
That is what summer school
Does to you
Abortion
I would have been
A beautiful baby
BUT YOU KILLED ME
I might have been
The first female president
Or the first man in space
BUT YOU KILLED ME
You never gave me a chance
To prove myself
I could have followed
In your footsteps
BUT YOU KILLED ME
Why did you do it
You have put me up for adoption
But you didn’t want to see me
Most murderers get put in jail
But you get to run free
With the memories of taking my life
You should have been put in jail
Like all the other murderers
You took my life
If you didn’t want a baby
Then put it up for adoption
Just don’t take our lives.
Our Future
Since the moment I saw you
I cannot stop thinking of you
When the darkness comes
I see your face
With each russell of leaves
I hear your voice
I continue to wonder
What it would be like
To get to know you
To have you hold me
To never wonder
What the future holds
For you and me
The wondering will never end
Heavenly Father
As I close my eyes at night
I realize I have lost you
Morning comes
I hope I can find you
Other things
/>
Seem to fill my time
Until now I did not realize
How lonely I could feel
I need you
But I don’t know how to ask
You seem so close
But I cannot find you
Please come back
Into my life
Without you I shall die
A lonely death
Years
Many years have gone by
Since I last saw you
I wonder how you are doing
What you look like
Do you ever think about me
Why did you leave
When did you stop caring
Will we ever
Meet again
When will the tears
And memories stop
We Became One
The night sky
And the stars
Were our blankets
The dirt and grass
We used as a bed
The fallen leaves
Cushioned our heads
In the dark
Before morning could come
We found each other
And became one
Jesus
I called to you
But you did not hear
I protected you even though
You did not know I was near
I wept when you were hurting
But still you did not seek
My child I am here
All you have to do is ask
The Game
To play the game
It was by your rules
You made me choose my family
Or my love
I chose my love
